1554688371156.Pdf Introduction In a world of seemingly endless negativity, there is one girl still holding out for a happy ending. In fact, she’s actively trying to create that happy ending with everything she’s got! Homura Akemi has gone through countless cycles of time to save her best friend Madoka Kaname, but she never succeeds. This failure will no doubt drive her mad in the end… but that is not the story of this Homura. For some strange reason, Homura’s ability to turn back time has started to insert her into stranger and stranger parallel worlds called Time Flows. These Time Flows can have relatively mundane differences from the original, like a world where everyone is oddly more spaced out, or could be ludicrously different, like a world that has a bar for the different Homuras of the multiverse! You enter into this odd multiverse just as the 38th most powerful Homura, Tamura, enters into the “Spaced-Out” Time Flow. Location (Roll 1d8 or spend 50 cp to choose) Akemi-Ya (1) ​ The bar and restaurant made for and by Homuras. It’s a place for the Homuras of the multiverse to relax from their constant failures to save Madoka… and from the increasingly odd Time Flows. It has an incredibly jovial atmosphere and the people there do not take kindly to people intentionally ruining that atmosphere. You’ll no doubt run into a whole host of characters here, but you will assuredly meet Bar Homura and Professor Homura! “Spaced-Out” Time Flow (2) ​ The first odd time flow that Tamura will find herself placed in. This time flow is perhaps one of the more mundane parallel worlds that you could find yourself. Mami Tomoe has already died due to accidently stepping on her Soul Gem. Kyoko Sakura spends the majority of her time laying down in front of baked goods conveyor belts. Sayaka Miki is mostly normal, but she keeps misplacing her Soul Gem. Madoka Kaname is just completely unflappable. Finally, Tamura is just completely confused. I’d watch out here due to everything spacing out Witches appear earlier than they otherwise should because they forgot when they should show up! “Magica✰ Rider” Time Flow (3) ​ A Time Flow where Magical Girls do not exist! Instead, the Magical Girls contract(take out a loan) with a not-human-looking-enough Kyubey. Magica Riders are much like Magical Girls in that they have to hunt Witches, but they hunt them using their motorcycles as part of their powers. In order to break into a Witches Labyrinth in this world you have to be traveling at about 186 miles per hour. All of the principal characters of this Time Flow act relatively normal if a bit more adrenaline oriented. “Okonomiyaki” Time Flow (4) ​ ​ The original Time Flow of the Practical Joker Homura. This Time Flow isn’t the most odd, but it is certainly a bit out there. No one seems to take anything seriously here, with everything that people do becoming some sort of practical joke. The people here also seem to have an odd addiction to Monja. “Level 9999” Time Flow (5) ​ Also known as Bar Homura’s nightmare Tim Flow. This Time Flow has everything within it at Lvl 9999. This means that even Kyubey is able to break apart concrete with his fists and dodge bullets casually. Madoka Kaname has made a contract with Satan and has sent countless Witches to Hell. Kyoko Sakura got infected with some sort of bacteria that formed a suit around her and allows her to manipulate matter. Sayaka Miki has become a skyscraper sized robot that is easily capable of wiping out cities. Finally, Mami Tomoe trained herself to the point that she has 24 constantly escalating Magical Girl transformation upgrades. Expect Japan to be wiped off the map before Walpurgisnacht shows up, but don’t worry all the regular people have also been upgraded to Lvl 9999 so they were mostly fine. “Whole Lotta Mami” Time Flow (6) ​ The Time Flow belonging to Queen Mami. Using the Big Book of Black Magic Using Other Dimensions, the Mami of this Time Flow was able to collect the power of untold amounts of Mamis throughout the multiverse. She was able to suppress every Witch on her planet and stop herself from becoming a Witch. She has since conquered the world and rules it with an iron fist, where all people must have drill hair and drink tea. She has bribed Kyoko Sakura to work for her. Sayaka Miki is working for her due to Kyoko Sakura swallowing her Soul Gem. Madoka is just an innocent person caught in the crossfire. “Akemi Mechanica” Time Flow (7) ​ ​ This Time Flow is the origin point of The Professor Homura. In this Time Flow, the world is a paradise of technological advancement. Humanity has completely caught up with the technology of the Incubators due to the intelligence of Professor Homura. It’s an incredibly peaceful place with all of the principle characters acting roughly as they should be; although, they may be a little bit more open and caring. Free Choice (8) ​ If you’ve landed on this option, you may choose any Time Flow that you wish. It could be one of the seven above or it could be another that appears in the series. Origin (Age: Choose between 8 - 25.) (Sex: If you came in as Male then you may switch to Female for Free, but if you came in as Female you may switch to Male for 50cp.) A Homura! The multiverse is infinite and so are the amount of Homuras! You can now count yourself among one of these Homuras. This means that you have black hair, a petite body, and really can’t hold your beer. It is important to note that all Homuras are different despite their roughly shared looks. You could be a nervous Homura, a competitive Homura, or even a creepy Homura! No matter you personality you have an affinity for Madoka Kaname. A Madoka! Every Homura has a Madoka! You just so happen to a Madoka Kaname from some Time Flow in the multiverse. This means your hair has turned pink. Madokas are perhaps even more diverse in personality than the Homuras. You could be a sadistic Madoka, a spacy Madoka, or a hotblooded Madoka to name a few! You have no particular affinity for anyone. A Mami! A Time Flow is nothing without it—CHOMP— …Hehehe, well, at least she tries? You are one of the many Mami’s that populate the multiverse. You’re blonde, you’re bodacious, and your hair looks like drills! Don’t worry, you’re not pigeon holed into becoming a kind and lonely Mami. You could be like the dead Spacy Mami. Or maybe you could be ​ ​ like the dead Metal Magica Mami! You might even be like the Queen Mami! You will be ​ ​ ​ protected from Queen Mami’s magic drain spell if you choose this option. A Kyoko! Rough, tumble, and always ready for trouble, Kyoko Sakura comes onto the scene! Or one of them anyway. You’ve become one of the many Kyoko Sakuras in the multiverse. This gives you red hair and a bad attitude. The Kyoko personalities are all pretty similar, but there is some room for difference. You could be like the Mink Chef Kyoko, the Big Sister Kyoko, or even the Chocolate Glutton Kyoko! A Sayaka! Sayaka Miki Heroic Magical Girl to save the day! You can now count yourself among this hot blooded and spunky bunch. You hair is blue and your heart screams for justice! Your personality could be cold and calculating like CEO Sayaka, shonen-esque like Metal Sayaka, or maybe you’d like to go on a rampage to dull the pain like RoboSayaka! Perks A Homura Homu Needs A Hobby! - 100 Stress is the true killer of Homuras all around the multiverse! So, to combat this, most Homuras have taken up a hobby. This means that you may opt to take one mundane skill that you have become quite good at doing. While you are performing this skill, you find that you become less stressed far more quickly than you otherwise would without doing it. Big Sister Homura - 200 Some Homuras have been around for a long time. Perhaps, they’ve been around for so long that they’ve given up on completing their mission themselves. However, this does not have to be a negative thing. In fact, it can be quite positive! You’ve become quite adept at supporting other people emotionally. Your presence is soothing and you really give off the aura of an older sibling! You can read people’s emotions really well and can even tell people with the exact same face apart. You’ve also become a good cook and know how to run a rowdy restaurant and bar with ease. The Sickly Serial Bomber - 400 All Homuras must know how to make their own bombs! You are able to make incredibly powerful, military grade explosives with ease, but that is not all. Your technical prowess is much like the Professor Homura’s ability. You are intelligent enough to drag the Human world to the same level of technology as the Incubators. You can create a ton of different Magical Girl style weapons and armor based around sample gathered from all sources magical and mundane. You can even create a giant robot that is near the size of Jupiter! Creating A.I. is child's play to you and you could even create lasers capable of destroying a planet! Fists are a Magical Girls True Weapons! - 600 A Homura needs their weapons! …or do they? Much like Tamura, you’ve discovered that training your body can yield terrific results.

  • Negotiating Magical Space and Identity in Puella Magi Madoka Magica
    humanities Article Becoming the Labyrinth: Negotiating Magical Space and Identity in Puella Magi Madoka Magica Sara Cleto * and Erin Kathleen Bahl Department of English, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-404-808-8407 Academic Editor: Claudia Schwabe Received: 2 March 2016; Accepted: 30 March 2016; Published: 6 April 2016 Abstract: In the magical girl anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica, middle-school girls receive the power and responsibility to fight witches in exchange for making a wish. The series has connections to many different genres and narrative traditions within the realm of folkloristics. However, the folkloric genre most relevant to the ethos and aesthetics of Madoka is that of the fairy tale. Drawing on Bill Ellis’s concept of “fairy-telling” and scholarship on new media composition, in this paper we seek to investigate labyrinths as acts of embodied composing—not lairs of evil or destruction but rather creative material memory work that negotiates grief and despair. Many of the series’ action sequences unfold in “labyrinths,” the magical spaces controlled by witches. By composing a labyrinth, witches can simultaneously reshape their environment and create a powerful statement about identity through personalized performance in narrative spaces that they control. In particular, we argue that both the frameworks of “fairy tale” and “new media” give us useful analytical resources for beginning to make sense of the intricately complex phenomenon of Madoka’s labyrinths. Keywords: fairy tale; new media; anime; magical girl; labyrinth; Madoka 1. Introduction In the anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica [1] (hereafter Madoka), a granted wish marks not a happily-ever-after ending but rather a complicated beginning.
